Much like we reported here, ‘Star Wars’ star John Boyega is among celebrities who are expressing outrage over the videotaped death of an unarmed Black man (George Floyd) by Minneapolis police.
However, his comments have incited fury among the law officers’ supporters.
Taking to social media recently, the 28-year-old tweeted he “f*cking hates racists” – a stance he was not willing to debate.
“This just burns,” he later tweeted alongside a photo of Floyd. “Seems to be a never ending cycle. The murderers need to be charged severely. Even in the face of death this man was given zero empathy.”
His comments lit up Twitter and Instagram, leading him to upload a video dragging defenders of the Minneapolis policemen who committed the crime.
See what we mean inside:
Earlier on Twitter, Boyega said:
Igniting a conversation that swelled to well over 100,000 tweets, some began counter-arguing his stance (even suggesting the term ‘hate’ was too strong). His rebuttal?
Those who argued his language was inappropriate for his followers who were children were responded to with:
Others argued he should be cognizant of his standing with Disney and not weigh in on sociopolitical matters that could jeopardize said relationship.
As more and more began to question if Boyega was racist toward White people, he weighed in:
Word.
This! 💯 🤳🏽
Twitter can go straight to hell. F*ck the police, and everyone that defends them. And oh yeah, f*ck white people and their feelings too.
Black British king
I owe u a blòwjob for saying this.
You’re not his type
You stan a Canceled racist clown.
Take your L
And all his Disney followers should hate racism to. Fawk they talkin bout
Cause all them lil white Disney fans are a bunch of racists…..wasn’t it the same people throwing fits when he first starred in Star Wars? F*** em. We expect people who cry over reverse racism cause they changed the mermaid into a black girl to have common sense.
Please don’t overlook that he did not mention White people. Yet White people got upset. If it doesn’t apply, let it fly.
He shouldn’t have even bothered responding to these people.
As before and again history in white America ignoring all other sects shows how shallow police are towards black and brown American men and women. If America is supposed to be a leading country, what always happens over, over and over again with white policing America towards black people indicates a system that has no respect for their own rule of laws. Furthermore, seeing what happened in the videos coming out of Minnesota made me so sick to my stomach I had to ease my conscience into an unsightly scene that while it was happening; I did not realize was live. Truly disturbing video of disgraceful police brutality with a freaking I don’t care attitude!
Legit question, if so many black people have a problem with America why don’t you move to a country where you feel safe instead of constantly crying about how things and people are.
Just saying.
You have the audacity to ask that? Are you funding kidding me?
F**********
It’s a legit question, are you scared to answer it?
Seriously? Because it’s their HOME. It has been their home for generations and generations, probably longer than many white Americans. Black Americans have built an incredible legacy for themselves, despite the institutionalised violence and racism that plagued them from cradle to grave. When your home is messed up, you fight to fix it! Where would they go? Canada? Nigeria? Botswana? Who’s handing out visas en masse? What country would take them? How would they adapt in a new country where the laws, language, customs and history were foreign to them? Do you suggest Black Americans be given a massive amount of land and build their own ethnostate like Israel?
You’re asking a question that is so asinine without even understanding the contextual weight and realities of the situation. Daft, you are.
Where not leaving because we were already here in America before Columbus got here you idiot.
Black people are racist too…it comes fron all race …so please f*** every race for being racist
